Polio is not a real time disease. It doesn't infect everyone that is exposed to it. It doesn't kill or cripple all those infected. Let's eliminate the requirement for this vaccine in the cause of freedom, what do you say? Same goes for Smallpox, Diphtheria, Tetanus and a myriad of other diseases that have mandated vaccines.
Your arguments are poor. They are not effective and they will not persuade a majority of the electorate. Neither will Ms. Bachman’s.
That is why I would and have stated that she drop this line of argument ASAP.
People don't like diseases, they do like vaccines against diseases.
You, on the other hand, are a real time idiot.
“Let’s eliminate the requirement for this vaccine in the cause of freedom, what do you say? Same goes for Smallpox, Diphtheria, Tetanus and a myriad of other diseases that have mandated vaccines.”
They are not “mandated” per se. You can’t attend a public school without them....but they are NOT mandated. Also, the polio vaccine was never mandated.
Whatever, you are incredible obtuse or just incapable of reading. I am NOT against vaccinations (neither is Bachmann). I know they work. I’m against forced vaccinations where there is not a clear ACUTE public health threat.
Oh...by the way. You really need to come up to date. They haven’t vaccinated for smallpox in 30 years; it was declared eradicated by WHO in 1980. Only the military does so because of potential for use as a biological weapon.
I’m glad most people are for vaccinations...they should be. I am certain that even Gardasil provides some protection. If I had a teenage daugther, I would probably opt to have her vaccinated. However, I will NOT mandate it for other people’s children....it isn’t my place. HPV is NOT a disease readily spread by casual contact...it is venereal.
